Recognition notes
The Shadow Cat Prime is a 45-ton striker built on a 270 XL fusion engine, cruising at 65 km/h with a top speed near 97 and a jump capability of 180 metres. Its main punch is a Gauss rifle in the right arm, backed by an ER medium laser in that same arm's opposite number, the left arm, and a second ER medium laser in the right torso. The chassis carries endo steel structure under ferro-fibrous armor plating, and its low, hard-to-target silhouette makes it difficult to acquire in the open. Barcella Beta builds it at Barcella, with additional production at Asellus Australis and Irece.
